Alexander Albon faced challenges during the Bahrain Grand Prix, grappling with overheating issues en route to a subdued 15th-place finish. In Saudi Arabia, Albon narrowly missed out on scoring points, finishing 11th amidst a fiercely competitive field.
Despite these setbacks, Albon remains optimistic about Williams’ prospects, affirming that the team possesses a better car than the previous season, albeit facing stiff competition from other teams. He acknowledged Haas’ unexpected competitiveness while highlighting the need for Williams to uncover untapped potential within their car.
In contrast to the previous season, where Williams benefited from strong straight-line speed, Albon noted a shift in performance dynamics, making overtaking more challenging. Despite this, he remains confident in the team’s ability to address performance gaps and capitalize on future opportunities to climb up the grid.
With a renewed focus on development and a commitment to unlocking the car’s full potential, Albon remains determined to improve Williams’ performance throughout the season. He emphasized the importance of consistency and continuous improvement as the team aims to maximize its competitiveness on the track.
